· Explore academic and non-academic barriers to student success and learn how LaGuardia’s Bridge Program addresses these issues
· Identify key supports and program design features that contribute to successful postsecondary transitions
· Review Bridge Program transitions curriculum samples to identify opportunities for integrating advisement activities with academic skills development
· Explore student-facing mobile and web-based apps that simplify the financial aid application process
· Participate in a sample Bridge Program transitions activity to: a) identify what a college going culture looks like in an Adult Education classroom, b) what habits and routines support student success in college, and c) what learning objectives inform the design of college and career readiness materials for adult education and/or high school equivalency students.
